Isn't Bondo purely a chemical reaction unaffected by temperature?

Fill'em with Bondo (or the like). It's smells a bit, but it works the best.
Ah...aroma-therapy! My dad has done body work since I was very small, but not so much in the past 15 years. That was a very familiar smell in the shop. Nice to be around it again. :)

I feel the same. This stuff smells so good. My dad used to have an auto body garage at home. I grew up applying bondo, spray painting primer, sanding primer, etc. I even ate some bondo at age 2. Apparently, I've been constipated for 3 days afterward. That smell is locked into my brain as a good thing I assume.
